All About Catholic Grandparents Association

By Jana Serrano


As you travel along the path of life, you will come to the end of it and reminisce everything you have had in your lifetime. And when you realize that you have arrived to your twilight years, you will feel very lucky and very fulfilled. But its not yet the end of your mission. That is because as long as we live, we cannot stop working. And the last task you have to undergo is being a grandparent.

Commonly, grandparents become very fond of their grandchildren that it almost seemed as if they loved them more than they do their children. But that is not necessarily the case. First of all, grandparents have a role to play and so they need to get involved and by doing so, they foster the kind of relationship they all display. That is what is common in the Catholic grandparents association.

Well first of all, there is nothing truer than the fact that parents love their children most. For this reason, they came to love everything about them. That is why you can see how they care for things they care and love the things they love as well. They even come to treat their friends like their own children already just because of the connection they have with their children.

So that is how the parents love for their kids becomes unrivalled. But then days will come when these kids would grow up and live their own lives. With that, they will get married and establish another unit which will be an extension of the family. And since this unit is fused to the life of their child, then they consider it the same for them.

Well in a Catholic family, there is nothing more important than molding the child into being a good Christian. And it is primarily and obviously the work of the parents. But there will always be a need for help. Given the fact that there is much concern and challenges which the parents face in their daily life, the grannies hold a paramount role.

They always recall what their role in being grandparents are. And then they realized that it is of paramount importance. Most especially in a Christian family where values and knowing the faith is very important, the role of grannies is a great help for parents. Given the fact that they cannot devote all their time to their children, it having a grandmother or a grandfather at least will address the lackingness.

To make it more specific, this group of people is united by believing in the importance of the vocation of grandparents. This association was actually established just recently by Catherine Wiley who is a loving grandmother to her grandchildren as well. For her, it is the duty, responsibility, and vocation of grannies to do what they can since it is probably the most important and last important job they can have.

And it was such an inspiration for the group when the Holy Father, Pope Francis spoke of how he greatly loved his grandmother Rosa who became his teacher of faith. Because of this, all the elders who have taken his message were moved to play their role. And with this, the grannies took on their mission.

With this, the association also got empowered. And they accommodated grannies who wished to know how the task should be carried out. So now you understand why they grandparents pamper their grandchildren so much. It is still because of their parental role and love after all.
